As the Nets continue to look for candidates to fill out Jason Kidd’s coaching staff, one potential candidate is Roy Rogers.

According to a league source, the Nets are interested in Rogers, who was an assistant coach with the Nets under Lawrence Frank from 2008-10, before following him to the Celtics when Frank went to Boston as an assistant in 2010-11, and then following him to Detroit with the Pistons for the past two seasons.

Rogers, a first-round pick of the Grizzlies in 1996, had been expected to join new coach Jeff Hornacek’s staff in Phoenix, but the team withdrew from contract talks with Rogers yesterday.

Kidd has made it clear that he’d love to have Frank, his former coach with the Nets, join his staff as his lead assistant.
